Hardened PHP

Frank Kreuzbach writes "Yesterday the Hardened-PHP Project has announced its existence on the PHP-general mailinglist. It is the first public patch for PHP which adds security hardening features. It is meant as a proactive approach to protect servers against known and unknown weaknesses within PHP scripts or the engine itself. It enforces restrictions on include statements, adds canary protection to allocated memory and other internal structures and protects against internal format string vulnerabilities. It has syslog support and logs every attack together with the originating ip."
